Landscape
"What does the time spent alone in the mountains cultivate?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a landscape painted in pale color on silk by the Japanese painter Kameda Bosai, in which a quiet scene is held within a long, narrow frame. The plain elegance of Japanese literati painting runs through it, yet its mood rings true in any land. In this painting I see the depth that stillness gives. The time spent alone in the mountains, away from clamor, seems empty, but in truth it is time that fills the heart. There is something seen when, like pale ink, one pares away desire. Within emptiness, a person hears the voice within himself.

Sometimes deliberately set aside a quiet time of your own, and empty your heart.
